The team behind the Liverpool Comedy Cellar is preparing to launch a second venture in the city next month.

Following the success of the stand-up comedy programme at The Magnet on Hardman Street, Big Comedy UK will kick off its Liverpool Comedy Club at Camp and Furnace.

This second opening will see the Baltic Triangle venue host comedians from the international comedy circuit every Saturday night.

Husband and wife team Brendan Riley and Val Brady are behind the concept, which has already won a Trip Advisor Award for the events at The Magnet, and have more than 20 years and 15 years of experience in the comedy industry respectively.

Ahead of the Liverpool Comedy Club’s arrival on 17 September, Brendan says: “Following the success of the Liverpool Comedy Cellar at The Magnet we have been looking to expand into another area of the city.

“Camp and Furnace is a totally different style of venue to The Magnet, so this project should attract a brand new audience.

“This has got to be an extremely positive move for the ever-growing live comedy scene in Liverpool.”

Liverpool Comedy Club’s first season will feature double headline bills from comedians including Steve Royle (as seen on Phoenix Nights and Sunday Night at the Palladium), Andrew Ryan (as seen on Russell Howards Good News) and Liverpool favourites Keith Carter as Nige, Steve Gribbin and Jamie Sutherland.
